A separate report, the result of an �informal investigation� initiated by Admiral Harris, found that standard operating procedures were violated that night but concluded that disciplinary action was not warranted because of the �generally permissive environment� of the cell block and the numerous �concessions� that had been made with regard to the prisoners� comfort, which �concessions� had resulted in a �general confusion by the guard and the JDG staff over many of the rules that applied to the guard force�s handling of the detainees.� According to Harris, even had standard operating procedures been followed, �it is possible that the detainees could have successfully committed suicide anyway.�
